Photo of the Day (December 2007)

[Grimace]

It's hard to make daytime HDR shots not look like computer-generated rolleyes images. Nice composition, I'd love the "regular" version.

A multiple exposure HDR of that would really take advantage of what HDR can do, that is produce an incredible exposure range in a single image.

If I were to shoot that scene with the intent of HDR, I'd be on a tripod, fixed aperture and shoot the base shot to expose the building accurately then adjust the shutter speed to go two or three stops on either side.

Your single image HDRs have a cool look, but if you run a full HDR process, multiple well taken exposures, run through photoshop you can get an image that looks like it wasn't "HDR'd" but has an amazing exposure latitude.

I've tried essentially that before, but still had bad luck if the night sky is completely black.

I'd love the regular version too... Can't seem to find the "un-HDR" version of the file. Maybe this will make up for that...

The color in this reminds me of Kodachrome. That seems to be common in HDR cityscapes.

It's flat here on the east coast, so I was thumbing through some images of the last hurricane swell... Noel. Early morning glass.

There's an iPod ad in here somewhere. Like this plain-clothes Israeli officer chilling in a mall in the Golan Heights, I also own a Nano. Obviously a fair amount of editing. Good, or bad?

This is a good shot. Where was this taken? Is that you? whaaa I dont understand this picture?..

OOh, into the sun is a tough one! I like the effect you achieved here with a little color in the sail, yet mostly silhouette effect. Here's one I did something a little different with, around 10 am facing east.

Shot just an hour ago... My cousin needed something to go on a few Christmas cards. I told him the cast on his hand kinda killed some of the look, but he just wanted it visible anyway....



Shot with my Nikon D70s, 70-300mm.
